Because of my dithering the other half took charge. Right today we are booking the holiday. I like to shop around but he likes to get things done and dusted.
First shock to me was the photos. Not only did I look awful but Max Spilmans charged £19.98 for two sets of six photos!
Then onto the visas. Actually filling in the forms on line was painless but when they were checked by the local Indian Community Centre we had missed off two post codes. Back to the drawing baord.
Then onto the travel agent. I had a Santana holiday in mind for £1355 but that had disappeared so we went for the Highland Beach., which cost us an extra £110. Monarch flight and a Jewel in the Crown holiday. I wanted the transfers taken off but she would not budge on that point. Checking on the small print at home it looks like the transfers put a £171 on the holiday. Took the holiday as I can only travel on the 15th of April and there where not many seats left according to the travel agent. If I had more flexibility I would have held out a little longer.
We called at Thomas Cook but they said no way could they beat that price and to go ahead and book with the Co-op.
So holiday booked and I am so excited because to me it is a big adventure. Cannot wait to find a elephant!
Thanks to all on he forum for your help it was much appreciated
